Legs 8 and 9: Slovenia.

Leg 8
- The lead teams getting into Vienna didn't make it that far on their delayed train; they got off two stops away at Wiener Neustadt, 26min into the ride.
- There was a spoiler sighting of a clue box just outside the Ljubljana Train Station, but it didn't really matter except prevent teams from doing some research on how to get to the parking garage beforehand.
- Speaking of which, on this leg teams used two different garages in Ljubljana, picking up their cars at Congress Sq but dropping them off at Šubičeva, just 250m/300yd away. On the show, we see Lena/Morgan accidentally going back to Congress Sq instead.
- Going from the Nebotičnik skyscraper to the Pit Stop at Dragon Bridge doesn't require teams to go over the bridge; they'd be crossing the river twice! But every team did this instead of approaching Phil from his back; were they instructed to take the long way around?

Leg 9
- The correct route for the Roadblock doesn't involve passing your teammate again at Republic Sq, so Joel's beard wasn't leading him the right way.
- Teams came really close to Slovenia's neighbours these two legs; House Work (bees Detour) was 2.1km/1.3mi from the Italian border; the Fonda Fish Farm (kayaking Detour) was 760m/830yd from the Croatian coast, and Socerb Castle (Pit Stop) was 1.8km/1.1mi from the Italian border (again!)

Neobie:
Leg 10: Stockholm.

- That was a long drive from the airport to the skydiving at Tierp; 90km/56mi in a taxi!
- There was some doubling-back on this leg; teams left the Royal Dramatic Theatre via Kungsträdgården Station, and returned for the Pit Stop at the same stop.
- The path from Pampas Marina to the metro station is just 550m/600yd, using the wooded path that Joel/Garrett took. Rob/Corey and Steve/Anna Leigh might have got the correct directions to start, but miss the turn-off with Greg/John blindly following. Both headphone boy and headphone lady pointed teams the wrong way (or at least, the longer way), sending them on a 1.9km/1.2mi jaunt.

Maanca:
Joel & Garrett got lucky to have someone point them the right way. I wondered where the heck the rest of them were going.

ianthebalance:
So the RI after the Detour seems to have had an additional purpose: since the Serve detour is so close to the pit stop in comparison to the farther away Sort detour, they needed Serve teams to not have such a big advantage after the task

Neobie:
Leg 11: Dublin

- Teams were released on Klara Mälarstrand in Stockholm just across from the Sheraton, so I assume that's where the Pit Stop hotel was.
- It was a 1km/0.6mi run from the carpark at Castle Park School to Forty Foot, probably not a distance that should get anyone too winded.
- Joel/Garrett didn't make the right gamble taking the ring road to try to get into the city centre; the direct route (14km/9mi) takes 50min with current traffic, while the route they took (34km/21mi) requires 1h15min.
- Steve/Anna Leigh weren't completely off-track, and were following the route recommended by Google Maps: they were seen asking for directions in front of George's St Arcade, and also driving past Christ Church Cathedral. Based on their exit interviews they needed to double back to the carpark (unaired on this episode), and that's what cost them the most time.
- Joel/Garrett, on the other hand, took the most direct/logical route based on a map (crossing O'Connell Bridge), but Google Maps refuses to let me take that route no matter how hard I try to force it to go that way.
- Teams going from Toners to St Patrick's Cathedral would have passed by the Gaiety Theatre again.
